    Really like this poem! You've put in some creative metaphors without cluttering the poem with them, and stayed focused throughout (one of my issues, heh). Your title's a bit wonky ...

    Neat poem; I like the formatting quite a lot. My one thing is "drumbeat voice" - I wouldn't think of a drumbeat as charming/beautiful/what have you. So, change that first ...

    Not a bad poem! You stay on focus throughout, maintain your rhyme scheme, really the only thing I'd change is word choice; some of your lines feel a bit long ...

    Neat poem, as usual. =] I think the middle is fine; for me, the weakest line is the last. With the line before it, the ending just gets a little ...

    Interesting... this sounds like the opening credits song to a show. The imagery was so-so: not bad and certainly very appropriate to the topic, but somewhat passe/run-of-the-mill. However, your positi

    Saw the title and the author, and was immediately intrigued - and you didn't disappoint. It's a simple, fun topic and a simple, fun poem. =] The imagery is great, ...

    Wonderful poem! Just one suggestion: I have a work for thee : Take me on a creative ride. This would shorten the line, and reduce not its meaning/impact. Probably heighten ...
